We knew Cottop Clark ever since we came to Camden. Cotton was one of those extremely likeable chaps. We loved him as a brother. His pissing was a shock that will remain deepTseated for many years. We had the happy pleasure of writing the story of Cotton Clark’s wedding to lovely Lesta Davis. We cherished the op> portunity of typing the anival of the stork in that happy homC twice. We cherished the evenings we met Cotton and his family at the Seaboard depot, where as members of the Ghoo Choo club* ^^i)t nightly to see the trains go through. This may appear as a bit of levity in view of the passing of a grand man, but we knew Cotton loved it-rand so did we.' Cur heart throbs in grief for the passing of a fine man, a Christian character, a good husband and an outstanding father. We miss you deeply Cotton Clark. Yours, . ; THE SKIPPER. STABIUZlNG WAGE DOLLARS Writing in an official AF of L publication, William Green recently urged th4 7,000,000 members of his organisap tion to ‘‘stabilize their wage dollars by helping to increase volume of production which can wipe out scarcities and the danger of runaway inflation.” An accompanying cartoon drives this thought home with its caption: “Bring prices down by producing the goods!” If Mr. Green is able to make this message felt he will be doing a signal service for all the American people, as well as union inbor. For, as the New York Herald Tcibune puts it, “Here in the simplest terms is the fundamental answer to the whole problem of inflation—production.” Them are, of course, other factors involved, such as excessive government spending which in itself is a'strong inflationary influence. But production is at the root of everything. Gar industrial potential is the greatest on earth by a wide margin. We have, in addition, a superbly efficient dis- tributioD madiine to take the goods to the consumer ence the factories produce them. Retailers, led by the big chain organisations, have been a hrontline defense against unavoid able price incrsasss. They haws led the war against the black market. But, until ade<iuate production is resumed, their woric can be only partially suoeeesfuL Price control by government, at best, is butjiieiniwrw and incomplete expedient Rlshig prices are the sympt^ of inflation—not the cause. If we prodme the goods we will have price stability. * Stew sseesec* idless Ril) & Brisket Lb. 35c Lb. {Me Steak Chuck Lb. 35c Sirlmn, T-Bone ..
